Is it fair that while the elite are safe in their protective cocoon, the common man fights the ‘War of Terror’?

The Bushies, it seems, do not believe in paying any of the cost of the fights. They do not believe that they or their friends should face any personal or professional penalties for trivial sins like distorting intelligence to get America into an unnecessary war, or totally botching that war’s execution. Even Paul Wolfowitz, who managed the rare feat of messing up not one but two high-level jobs, has found refuge at the American Enterprise Institute.
Which brings us to the case of I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby Jr. The hysteria of the neocons over the prospect that Libby might actually do time for committing perjury was a sight to behold.
